Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1977 Plaque signed by 140 people (201) 878-0251

JoeDell73

This is an authentic signed plaque created by the Notre dame University commemorating the 1977 team that won the 1978 Cotton Bowl autographed by the whole team and coach.
It comes with a JSA COA.
It is 26" X 18"
The main picture is a print of the Notre Dame Dome.
It signed by around 140 people including Joe Montana (Tom Brady's mentor) and Ed "Moose" Krause.
Try finding those 2 signatures on the same item, let alone with the rest
of these legends.
It was singed with a green marker, when first introduced on the market,
in honor of their half time jersey change to the throw back green.
THIS IS NOT A COLLECTOR'S ITEM, IT IS A MUSEUM PIECE!

I have contacted experts on the value, some said 64K-100K because of its rarity and historic value. Others have said they can't even put a price on it because nothing like it has ever sold before. My plaque has one of the first signatures Joe ever signed along with it is his original full name which changed when he joined the NFL. That along with Ed "Moose" Krause and coach Dan Devine along with so many other NFL superstars and Notre Dame legends. The plaques were numbered to 1000 so the artistic value of the print is added in. Only the first six were signed for the administration. The first was signed in the Administrator's office and then 5 more in the locker room. The 1st 5 are actual signatures, the rest after are prints. The other 4 were destroyed! The Players, some of which I contacted, never received one.

There has never been one for sale or even on the internet.
If you wish to have this in your collection,
this will most likely be your one and only chance to have
this piece of football history in your collection.

A great gift for the sports fan in your life

Just curious, how do you know the other five originals were destroyed? Why were they destroyed? Did you own all six and destroy the other five so that you'd have the only one? You've had this on ebay for awhile now and you've posted here previously. I would take the largest offer you've gotten from either of these two venues. If that doesn't work for you, like has been suggested before, your best bet is probably one of the big auctions houses, but please understand, that you probably won't get anywhere around $64K to $100K. If that was the actual market value, you would have already received offers around those marks.

Wait 3 years and have an auction house sell it for the 50th anniversary! No one is going to give Joe Blow that kind of money. Let a auction house hype it up. Maybe they'll get Joe Montana to bang the gavel!!!

It's certainly a neat piece and we all know the popularity of Notre Dame football but I don't think could get 10% of that asking price unfortunately.
